Hard work doesn't scare me and working under pressure thrills and drives me!

Not much pressure when you can retake at your leisure.  

I felt little pressure to impress and he spoke with great confidence to all questions and points I brought up.

Many realtors will try to pressure you into a short option period.

I have a couple of concerns buying in a neighborhood which has more investors than owners.Since there are many rentals available, there will be pressure to lower rents to attract tenants, to keep the low vacancy rates.My second bigger concern is, home prices heavily dependent on when investors(hedge funds/mid sized investment firms) decide to sell of their portfolio in the neoighborhoods, increasing the inventory, and having a downward pressure on the prices I feel #1 is more likely to occur, and I am sure some of the BP members may have experienced or know some places where that has happened.

That way you´ll put some pressure on the seller to accept your offer - otherwise he is running the risk that it expires and he has to sell at a lower price.However, this strategy might help sometimes but it won’t do miracles.

While possible, this is typically not the case... many markers peak at the same time, so you’re often stuck under time pressure and end up paying too much for a property... 

Third, most builders will have in-house financing and will get very liberal in lending requirements if the market slows, pressure to move to the next project, meet quarterly/monthly sales goals, etc...which will give your potential tenants an avenue to own new it instead.

Very high emotional pressure to sign up for their $35k program that will take you a whole year just to get through the schooling process before you even get through your first deal.

People do funny things when financial pressure hits - one a--hole told me that he was sorry he had lied to me but if he didn't steal some money his wife was going to leave him!
